Spinal decompression involves applying a light to moderate decompressive force thus creating negative pressure (pulling/tractioning) in the cervical or lumbar region. The negative pressure allows bulging or herniated disc(s) to be relieved of pressure while simultaneously allowing the disc(s) to fill up with fluid and start repairing by a process known as imbibition; it is during this treatment that bulging/herniated/prolapsed discs get drawn back into their proper anatomical position.

Some of the conditions that are improved and/or eliminated using this treatment are:

bulging discs

herniated discs

prolapsed discs

protruding discs

radicular pain

compression fractures

discogenic pain

degenerative disc disease

spinal root impingement

hypomobility

sciatica

pinched nerve(s)

cervical and lumbar radiculopathies

spinal stenosis

posterior facet syndrome

Many patients claim that non-surgical spinal decompression/decompressive traction has prevented them from needing surgery in the cervical or lumbar region. Results of this treatment are dramatically more noticeable over the course of six to eights weeks, depending on the severity of a patient’s condition. The initial relief may seem minimal, however over time and through repetition, the discs experience less pain, start to fill up with fluid and allow various healing factors such as proteoglycans to heal the disc(s). This procedure is done while the patient relaxes on a decompression table in the doctor’s office; there is no anaesthesia nor any surgery required. Treatment is typically considered quite comfortable and is highly effective.
